Happy Black History Month! Black History is American History—it cannot be erased, forgotten, or diminished. Our ancestors lived it, we’re making it, and future generations have the right to learn from it.

This month and every month, we honor the resilient, impactful, steadfast, and empowering legacy of Black excellence, innovation, and progress. Together, we R.I.S.E. to preserve our history and shape our future!

Delta Sigma Theta was founded by college women studying at Howard University. So it’s only right that we go back to the birthplace of our sisterhood for a dynamic series of events created by collegiates, for collegiates!

🔺🔺🔺

The Collegiate Summit is a dynamic leadership development experience designed to empower collegiate members with the tools, strategies, and confidence to excel as leaders. Focusing on personal growth and professional advancement, this two-day event fosters meaningful connections among collegiate members and equips attendees to make a lasting impact within their communities, within the Sorority, and beyond.

DDNC is our Sorority’s sole legislative conference hosted by the National Social Action Commission (SAC). The SAC has created a space for collegiates to experience the conference in a way that highlights the issue points that affect us daily. DDNC’s Collegiate Forum provides an environment where collegiate members can learn and actively engage as participants in Delta’s social action efforts.

This year we will convene under the combined theme, “A Delta Playbook for Success” which focuses on equipping collegiate sorors with the utilities to make the best plays to win in your personal, professional, and Sorority endeavors including Delta’s social action efforts and advocacy work.

Collegiate sorors, it’s time to get in the game! Check your email for more details on how to register and we’ll see you soon 🏀🔺

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are reminded of the courage and resilience required to champion and advance justice and equity. Today, as we continue to honor Dr. King's legacy and his 96th birthday, we do so by moving forward with fortitude.

Let this day serve as a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we are united in purpose. The time for action is now. The challenges are many, but so are our victories. We are a powerful force for good, propelled by the legacy of Dr. King.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. commends and extends heartfelt gratitude to President Joseph R. Biden Jr. for today’s acts of grace, notably the pardon of our Soror Kemba Smith Pradia.

For nearly 30 years, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., has vigorously pursued justice for Kemba Smith Pradia. As a first-time, nonviolent offender, she was sentenced in 1994 to 24.5 years in prison under mandatory minimum sentencing laws. Our collective advocacy in the 1990s, alongside the Legal Defense Fund and other civil rights organizations, led to her sentence being commuted by President Clinton in 2000.

Since then, she has become a passionate advocate for criminal justice reform and a dedicated mother, wife, and community leader. On April 8, 2018, we proudly welcomed Soror Smith Pradia into the Henrico County Alumnae Chapter, honoring her extraordinary service locally, regionally and nationally as well as her commitment to social action. Her number, 24, poignantly reflects the years she was unjustly sentenced. However, today’s pardon marks a significant milestone, as for the past 25 years, despite her commutation, her criminal record erected barriers in her life outside prison. We are thrilled that this painful chapter ends today with a full pardon from President Biden, finally expunging her criminal record.

Delta also advocated for and joins in celebrating the commutation of Michelle West's sentence and applauds the clemency granted to others, including Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Don Leonard Scott, Jr., Ravidath “Ravi” Ragbir, and Robin Peoples.

Inspired by these stories of resilience and redemption, we will continue our relentless pursuit of reforms that assure justice and dignity for all, illuminating the path toward a brighter, more equitable future.
